HISTORY OF PABLO’S
Pablo Lopez was part of the Mexican Revolution and was one of Pancho Villa’s lieutenants. Villa and his supporters seized Hacienda land for redistribution to peasants and soldiers. He robbed and commandeered trains and like the other Revolutionary Generals, printed counterfeit money to pay for his cause. Villa and his supporters became known as the Villistas during the Revolution from 1910 until approximately 1920.
Pablo Lopez was jailed in Cindad Chihuahua, where he was sentenced to death. On 16th May 1916, he gave an interview with the El Paso Herald where he boldly stated “I would rather die for my country in a battle. But if it is decided to kill me, I will die as Pancho Villa would wish me to— with my hand erect and my eyes unbandaged; and history will not be able to record that Pablo Lopez flinched on the brink of eternity!”
A few days afterwards, Pablo Lopez stood in front of the firing squad and refused a blindfold, bravely giving the Order to “Fire”, himself.
